The Florists^ Review 



August 21, 1913. 



SOBANTON, PA. 



More Private Gardeners. 



I paid a visit recently to the home 

 of L. A. Linen, president of the First 

 National Bank of Scranton, who was 

 the first in our city to take advantage 

 of the beautiful Abington hills. His 

 gardener, Mr. Keeves, though he has 

 not yet had the experience of many of 

 the old-line gardeners, has developed 

 a liking and experience that is quite 

 surprising, and the grounds look as if 

 they had the "care of one with years 

 of experience. The winding drives, 

 golf links and tennis court cover a large 

 area. 



I also visited C. D. Simpson's 

 grounds, which are in charge of Will- 

 iam Challis, who has been at this place 

 since its beginning. I am always sorry 

 on visiting this place to find that the 

 home, after being burned, has not been 

 rebuilt. Mr. Challis, with the aid of 

 several men, is keeping the place up in 

 fine condition. The flower, shrubbery 

 and vegetable gardens are always in- 

 teresting places in which to spend a 

 few hours. Mr. Challis is an entertain- 

 ing gentleman to meet and is always in- 

 terested in everything pertaining to 

 horticulture. He made the trip with 

 me to C. H. Wells' summer home, a 

 short distance from Mr. Simpson's. 



There we found C. A. Hampton, who 

 had recently come to Mr. Wells. He 

 shows that he is a man of much ex- 

 perience in garden work in the way 

 he has rebuilt some of the roads and in 

 the setting of plants for summer ef- 

 fect. The grounds were formerly laid 

 out by Mr. Wirtz, whose health failed 

 him and who is now in Florida. Mr. 

 Hampton is probably more widely 

 known to the trade, having occupied a 

 position in Brooklyn with Mr. Stewart. 

 His chrysanthemums are in splendid 

 condition and promise a great crop of 

 flowers. The shrubbery at Mr. Wells' 

 place is interestingly and effectively 

 arranged. The view from Mr. Wells' 

 place is principally to the north and 

 west, in which the famous Elk hills 

 lie off at a distance of about sixteen 

 miles. The cup-shaped country within 

 this view is such that it would make 

 a magnificent lake. The arrangement 

 of shrubbery, flowers, drives and homes 

 around Abington is beautiful; yet with- 

 out the magnificent natural views these 

 places would lose something of their 

 charm. G- K- ^• 



Erie, Pa. — Miles E. Miller, formerly 

 with Chas. G. Offerle, has resigned his 

 position to enter business for himself 

 at 924 Peach street.
